E sons of men, a feeble race, YE Expos'd to ev'ry snare, Come, make the Lord your dwelling-place, And try, and trust his care. 2 No ill shall enter where you dwell; Or if the plague come nigh, And sweep the wicked down to hell, To watch your pillow, while you sleep, 4 Their hands shall bear you, lest you fall. 5 Adders and lions ye shall tread; 6 "Because on me they set their love, "My grace shall answer when they call; "In trouble I'll be nigh: "My pow'r shall help them when they fall, "And raise them when they die. 8 "Those that on earth my name have known, "I'll honour them in heav'n; "There my salvation shall be shown, "And endless life be giv'n." 1 PSALM 92. First Part. L. M. A psalm for the Lord's day.

Can he be deaf, who form'd their ears? 3 He knows their impious thoughts are vain, And they shall feel his pow'r : His wrath shall pierce their souls with pain 4 But if thy saints deserve rebuke, Thy providences and thy book Shall make them know their God. 5 Blest is the man, thy hands chastise, Thy chast'nings make thy children wise, 6 But God will ne'er cast off his saints, 1 He pardons his inheritance For their Redeemer's sake.
